Thank you for your question in regards to Botox. It is highly unlikely that Botox has caused your eye pain. I would suggest seeing an ophthalmologist to discuss your concerns. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Botox injections are generally not associated with eye pain. Rarely, in patients with significant laxity of the lower lid and some dry eye symptoms, if botox is placed in the lower lid, it can exacerbate dry eyes causing pain and irritation. This is possibly a cause in your case; however, you should be evaluated by your physician as soon as possible in person to address your concerns. Botox should have no lasting effect on symptoms of pain around the eyes.
